University of Oxford (reviews)

My experience in this program was excellent, providing a solid balance between theoretical foundations and practical, real-world tech projects. The supportive professors and hands-on coursework in coding and data analysis gave me confidence and strong skills for my career. I highly recommend this university to anyone aiming to build a successful path in computer science and data science.

I really enjoyed my time in Oxford. The atmosphere of the city and the many colleges give a great student vibe. I graduated in History so the city was great inspiration for my studies, I then went on to study for a PCGE at Westminster College, Harcourt Hill, Oxford. This excellent institution gave me the confidence to become a Headteacher at the age of 33. The whole Oxford experience shaped my future is a positive way, both academically and socially – great university and a great inspirational place to study

I really enjoyed my time at Oxford. The teaching style suited me: it was a few small group/1:1/1:2 sessions a week. Most of my time was spent reading in a library, following threads of my own interest. This did not suit everyone – a few of my friends really struggled with the lack of contact and structure, but I enjoyed the close relationship to my tutors and the ability to focus on things that genuinely excited me. The opportunity to take part in a lot of extracurricular activities – from sports to art to debating – was also very enjoyable and unique. Plus, the city is just gorgeous! You can really romanticise your life as a stressed, overworked student when you get to walk around a place that literally looks like Hogwarts. Your experience will depend on the specific college you go to – so make sure to research that.

The architecture is out of this world; the Victorian buildings are rich in history, and it’s like stepping back into the 60s. The university is clean and safe; I would recommend it. The professors helped me catch up when I was falling behind; the classes are breathtaking. I didn’t regret my choice of studying abroad instead of sticking to South African universities.
